Taking on the responsibility when you know you cannot do the job due to other tasks is irresponsible and flawed judgement.

DCVoter: Um...yeah.

And what about all of the factual, substantive repudiations of Clinton's claim to be so much better "prepared"? Care to address them?

I wonder what they promised this "Craig" guy in the new Bama ..sorry Obama "misadministration" that they are hoping to have.

BTW, Oprah is going to be the secretary of state..well no change there. Taking over from one very ineffective person (Rice)

You're right Craig, the record is what it is, it speaks for itself. I'd like to see someone hold up some stellar performance on Obama's part instead of just deflecting. It's always "we can't pull anything out to build the case in regards to experience/records so let's turn it around on Clinton or McCain so we can change the subject". I'm really getting sick of that positioning.

"When pushed more, Craig relented: "The record is what it is. He didn’t become chairman of that subcommittee until January of 2007. The fact is that he made his announcement for president of the U.S. in February of 2007. So, he had other things on his mind.”

WOW -- WE ARE THE CHANGE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR? I AM THE CHANGE I CAN SHIRK RESPONSIBILITY FOR. WHAT A JOKE!

Ah, yes Hector, really funny, wow. You're a real Shecky Green. But I notice you're unable to refute the charges Greg Craig -- a former Clinton man -- has made against Hillary too. Hmmm....

So tell me please, what's all this "great experience" Clinton has over Obama?

None. Zippo. NADA. That's what.

All I can say is if Obama's holding up his judgement as superior and that judgement was to get involved in a shady business deal with a friend while he was being investigated? Obama has called the move "Boneheaded", but in reality it is just plain horrible judgement. No deflecting necessary!!

For *either* Clinton to attempt to impugn the honor, ethics and/or integrity of another is disingenuous, absurd, hypocritical and downright laughable!

The terms scandal, corruption, lying and unnecessary drama are all synonymous with the previous Clinton administration. I wonder how much longer Obama will wait before reminding Americans of these negative Clinton trademarks.

Be careful, Clintoneers. If Obama decides to play merely the Vince Foster card *alone,* it'll be over for Hillary....

This was meant to bolster Obama?! That is the classic meaning of "damning with faint praise"... it just shows that neither of them are fit as Commander! Will there be anything left of the candidates by Convention? Mccain's secret weapon against Hillary and Obama are.... Hillary and Obama!

And how many committee meetings did Hillary attend since she began her campaign?

And she missed a key vote on telecom immunity for illegal bush wiretapping, which both Obama and McCain attended. Of course, she did vote to begin to give Bush authority to invade Iran!

AMEN.

Hillary is more honest than Obama.

"Hillary is more honest than Obama."

And you have that on WHAT authority, JKAN?

Puh-leeze....

Jackt51- Actually, in the US Senate Clinton missed 175 out of 2429 votes, she missed 7% of her votes. Obama in the US Senate missed 202 out of 1121 votes, he missed 18% of his votes and was rated as having an exceedingly poor record in rgards to missed votes. Obama may have missed the vote to go into Iraq, but he made up for it by casting all those votes to unconditionally fund a war he supposedly didn't believe in nor support.

"When pushed more, Craig relented: "The record is what it is. He didn’t become chairman of that subcommittee until January of 2007. The fact is that he made his announcement for president of the U.S. in February of 2007. So, he had other things on his mind.”

HMMMMMMMM!!!! Lets see did you ever stop to think that maybe he thought it was very important to campaign and run for president so he can do more for the american people and for the situation in Iraq! And to Alpaig that is our american soldiers over there would you vote no to fund them so they didn't have what they needed to protect themselves.WE ARE DEMOCRATS WE SHOULD BE AGAINST THE MAN WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ECONOMY BOTH HILLARY AND OBAMA WILL WORK FOR LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS.WE CAN'T LET THIS DIVIDE US!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand why Greg Craig is attacking Hillary when he is candidate is way over his head. Obama has not even proven himself as a Senator. The stakes are much higher. It is ridiculous that some primary caucas voters are overlooking these facts.

We all know that Clinton is not innocent of past wrongdoings. Obama is simply running a different kind of campaign. It's a kind of campaign that Independents, Republicans and Democrats can respect and admire. To insinuate that he must be perfect to try and raise the political bar is an absolute fallacy. It's as if someone can't work towards a better environment while simultaneously driving a gas powered car. It's fallacious and shortsighted.

If Hillary somehow gets the nomination instead of Obama, I will vote for a 3rd party candidate or simply write in Obama on the ballot.

I don't want to vote an anti-vote. I want to vote for someone i believe in. At least i will sleep better knowing i voted for someone i wished would run the country!

Yes, we need foreign policy experience which Obama severely lacks!

Obama's website says:
"Talk to our Foes and Friends: Obama is willing to meet with the leaders of all nations, friend and foe. He will do the careful preparation necessary, but will signal that America is ready to come to the table, and that he is willing to lead. And if America is willing to come to the table, the world will be more willing to rally behind American leadership to deal with challenges like terrorism, and Iran and North Korea's nuclear programs."

However, the new President of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak refused an offer in January to meet with North Korea, saying "it was not appropriate to meet without principle or with no results expected."

President Lee--who is within range of tens of thousands of NorK artillery and missiles--apparently has more common sense when dealing with murderous tyrants than Obama does!

What the public fails to understand is that, like most jobs, individuals are hired based on thier over all ability to fullfill a position. No president has made it to office because they had experience in all facets of government.
Buttom line Obama maintains the academic background and intellectual capacity to be the executive of this country. McCain does not have these qualities and Palin clearly will embarrass American abroad.
